I'm trying to install the 'metacity-2.4.55-6' or 'metacity-2.5.3-3' rpms on Red Hat 8.0 but they both have several dependancies:
error: Failed dependencies: libXrandr.so.2 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 libstartup-notification-1.so.0 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 redhat-artwork >= 0.62 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6
(All commands as root).
Get the src.rpm for metacity and run rpm -ivh on it. Open /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/metacity.spec and change Requires: redhat-artwork >= 0.62 to Requires: redhat-artwork. Then run rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/metacity.spec. When (if) it finishes, run rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/metacity-2.5.3-3.i386.rpm.
That _might_ work, but don't be suprised if it doesn't.
